There might be Nothing they won't eat!!! But as well as every vegetable, flake, pellet and frozen food, mine do love to nibble on Duckweed roots, to the point where Duckweed struggles to keep up :)
@@AussieAquatic Haha, I think I've noticed that a little with my frogbit. I just upgraded my shrimp tank light, so we'll see if it's the low light or the nibbling shrimp is the problem.
@@ants7279 Hey, good to see you back! I'm actually in the research phase of learning how to ship shrimp. Going to try and see if it works, and then find out if it's really that cost effective to ship shrimp. Wish me luck!
LOL! Repashy definitely has a certain humor with their food names. Thanks so much for visiting my channel. I love all the wonderful videos you put out; very inspiring to me. :)
I recently got repashy, I fed them the powder first and they were ok with it. I properly made it and put it in... They won’t touch it! I have 6 cherries and 1 wood shrimp, why won’t they eat it!?😂
ive been thinking of making videos and really just getting started is already so tough. it definitely does take a lot of effeort to produce such well made videos
Oh just a tip I figured out about the BacterAE - I put the dose in a plastic water bottle with tank water, shake it up, and then pour it in all my tanks. That way it doesnt just float on the surface and make a mess!
Enjoyed your video. I have my first ever cherry shrimp about 3 weeks now. I have 8. I tried a little green bean last night. They soon began eating on it. How long do you leave it in there? I am trying these guys in a small, self sustaining aquarium. So far, so good!
Sharing this as I know this community can appreciate my joy: i tried the blanched & frozen zucchini and, it didn't happen in the first hour, but I came home from work to a completely eaten zucchini!! I danced a jig so hard but nobody in my house is as passionate about it. Thank you! (Amano. Bristle nose, nerites, and cherry shrimp)
I feel you. I like to make homemade gel food for my aquatics and no one in my family understand the feeling whenever you have a swarm of them eating it. I noticed that shrimp in general love zucchini, cucumber and carrot
This is very timely for me. I've had my shrimp for about a month and at the same time accidentally acquired pond snails - which have completely eliminated all visible algae from the tank. So I've been experimenting with different shrimp foods. I recon I'm about to order some almond leaves and cholla wood. Thanks!
Thank you so much! After 6 years in the hobby I just discovered that "cholla" wood is pronounced "choya" and not with the throat like Challah bread 🙃 To be fair, I had never heard someone say it out loud, only read in books and forums online 😅
Last time I fed my tank boiled carrot, I noticed that it took a couple days for the shrimp and snails to start eating it. I think they were mainly eating the biofilm that grew on the carrot as it decomposed. In fact I wrote this comment before I had gotten to the part of the video where you mentioned you fed your shrimp carrots! As a biochemist, I do think there is great theoretical justification for feeding carotenoids to shrimp. The conversion from one carotenoid to another really only takes a few reductions to go from a more yellow carotenoid to a more red one. Though, I should mention that I have no idea what the pigment in shrimp is (I should probably look into that). I'm curious to know if you've had any empirical boost in redness from feeding carrots!
Aquarium co-op has a video on Aqua Hana who imports fish and shrimp. They feed their shrimp carrots too and found the shrimp who are not typically red turn red! Here’s a link: th-cam.com/video/o6Vhfd7mA98/w-d-xo.html
I have a lot of floating plants and I found if I keep my lights on for more than 12 hours a day the other plants get the right amount of light and grow like a week and it doesn't seem to grow algae
That's a pretty lucky situation, that way you can have your lights on for the entire part of the day when you're awake! Mine would grow too much algae, so I can't really watch my aquarium in early mornings and nights.
Rapashy gel food goes a long way and they love it. When I see babies appear I feed the same portion you would with Bacter AE in the straight powder form.
My cherry shrimp love frozen broccoli. If almond leaves are too expensive, leaves from oak trees worked well for me. I collect them in fall as the leaves dry brown and fall off the trees.
I don't have much experience with freshwater shrimp but at one time I had a pair of peppermint shrimp in a marine tank and I would feed tetra ruby flake food to the fish. The shrimp learned to climb up the plants and eat the flake food off the water surface. Amazingly after a few months those shrimp had the most fluorescent blood red coloration from the tetra ruby. Tetra still makes a cichlid flake food that looks similar to the tetra ruby. It might be worth crushing some up and feeding it to the freshwater shrimp.
I experimented with feeding powdered chlorella and my shrimp are now unrecognizeable. The colours are much more vivid than previously, and a few shrimp that didn't have much colour got some dark markings on their heads and tails.
My cherry shrimp love Shrimp King complete, bee pollen, canned green beans, and Aquarium Co-op fry foods. Great video, you gave me some ideas for foods to try
To be honest. You share more love for shrimp and explain in detail what shrimp like to eat. Very proud of what this video is all about. Most professional just hug their secret diet plan to themselves. Well done. Thank you so much.
My shrimp love all the foods you mentioned, plus mashed cooked peas, spinache boiled to just about mush, boiled nettle, and the various snow flake foods. 👍💕👍 P/S Your hair looks fabulous!
You made such a great video! Thank you for sharing. I love that you got right to the point and packed the whole video with real content and information. At the end I was actually a little shocked to see your video was eight minutes. Time flies when you're having fun I guess. Now I'm a subscriber!
i like to dice really small cucumber and carrot pieces and i’ll mix it with brine and blood worms, i’ll add equal amounts to a small freezer trey that are squares, then i’ll add a bit of water to it so it can freeze, i’ll drop 2 of them in on different parts of the tank every week as a treat, they love it!! note: only freeze a few weeks worth because the food tends to get freezer burn after a month or two and i don’t know if that’s good for the shrimp or not 🤷♂️
I’m IN LOVE with ghost/grass shrimp and my mom just gave the OK to start saving up so I can get my tank ready with Aquarium COOP items on my big order and then I’m gonna get rid of all of the fish and animals in my main tank and swap them out for 5 endlers and 20 ghost shrimp and I’m so excited!
My shrimps love spirulina powder. They go crazy for it. I use a wet bamboo skewers to swish the powder in their water. I also feed it to my fish fry whenever I'm too lazy to prepare live food and they grow very well
I love shrimp, they are the cutest creatures ever! I wasn’t planning to get any for now because I didn’t think I had the right setup for them, however there was a wild neo hitchhiker when I got some ember tetras and he’s been thriving in my tank, so I got more. Thanks for this great video!
I have cherry shrimp, cory fry of various ages (but under half inch size), and baby ramshorn snails in my tank. I feed a lot of different foods. (This tank also has catappa leaf, cholla wood, and java moss.) Here's a list: Repashy Community Plus (both the powder and gel form), Hikari First Bites, powdery dried cyclops, Xtreme Community Peewee pellets, rare fragments of algae wafer, and Hikari Shrimp Cuisine as a supplement.
Nice hair color. Have you tried dried seaweed? I have a guy in my fish club that uses seaweed to feed his shrimp. I tried it and a day later it is gone. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Great video! I just bred cories and was hoping to move in some cherry shrimp but no one said if they would eat little fry! You were the only person I found saying they will not eat small live organisms
I love all of glass garten's stuff. All i use is a rotation of bacter ae, shrimp fit, mineral junkies and sometimes babyshrimp and they always go nuts for it
Wow!!! That was a ton of great information. Wish I would have had this video before starting my shrimp collection. Another great food which is free is blackberry leaves, stinging nettles, and mulberry leaves. I dry them and have them through the winter. You need to start caridinas. They have awesome patterns. Great video!😁
subscribed!!! thank you so much for all the infos. i will be receiving my first pair of cherry reds and blue velvets tomorrow. im so happy to bump into your channel for betta care, planted tank tips and shrimp care. Lots of love from the philippines!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I microwave some frozen peas in water for about 10 seconds, shell them, and give the pea a little squish when I put in my tank. That way some of breaks off and without the shell they swarm the peas.
I can’t grow enough algae.... my plants absorb everything and my nerites eat it all! As for the Bacter AE, I find it very helpful to put tank water into a bottle then put in the powder and shake it up then pour into my tank.
Omg you won’t believe this but when I had fish in my cherry shrimp tank and feed them live Brian shrimp my most active shrimp caught one and ate it. So crazy
Awesome video! I just got shrimp so I really appreciate this video. I have both Cherry and Amano shrimp. I've never had shrimp before. They love my sponge filter. I'm going try the leaves. Thank you and I love your new hair color. It rocks!❤🦐🙂
I wasn't able to feed my Cherry shrimps with boiled vegetables, neither azoo green food. The only thing that worked was azoo gourmet tropical Fish food. Within 10-20 mins the whole flakes dissapeared.
Thank you so much! Actually, I've been wanting to try mailing some of my cherry shrimp to someone. Email me (see my About tab on TH-cam) if you're interested in some free shrimp at some point and doing a collab video. :)
hello, please help me, I have a small glass container for feeding and feeding dajana nano sticks for shrimps, but they do not fit into the container and I do not know what to try or is it not possible, it is because of the new purchase of young shrimp and they have been in the aquarium for 2 days and the aquarium is newly established with a lot of plant shelter
I was full and I have an left over crab meat, I dumped in the tank for fun to see if the shrimp like it, they will eat it but I think they are not a big fan, this little information could go in your list haha
What site did you buy the MK Breed Cheese Burger food? Every site I see that sells them, the directions are in Japanese and the pack you had was in english. Or are they the same? Loved your video!
I have lots of biofilm and general plant "waste" in my tank but strangely I have basically no algae. I use Indian Almond leaves a lot because I like to boil them to concentrate the tannins to add to the water since the other inhabitants of my tank are pygmy corydoras and neon tetras who like the darker water. As a bonus I don't have to wait for them to get waterlogged and sink, just cool down a bit and they can go right into the tank. The shrimp don't seem to mind the tannins and the water in my area is on the hard side so I don't have to worry about it getting too soft. For feeding, the shrimp end up going for a lot of the same stuff I feed my fish which includes Hikari Tropical sinking wafers, Hikari algae wafers, freeze-dried brine shrimp, and black worm pellets. I also have Shirakura shrimp food, which they didn't initially seem to like (It's a VERY hard sort of wafer) but they go for it and eat it all within the day after it's soaked a bit. Other than that, I have some bladder snails in the tank and they like to eat those. I think they MAY be preying on the very small ones, but otherwise they immediately go for them if I crush some when I notice that the population of snails is getting too high.
Great video! I got my first 10 cherry reds on Friday. Thus far no interest in Hikari algae wafers (day 1) or the boiled carrots (day two). Today I tried a little frozen brine shrimp, and that they are nibbling on. They seem mostly focused on the live plants. Thanks!
I have hikari for my albino corydoras but noticed they have 2.7mg/kg of copper. Is this ok for shrimp? I know they need trace copper but I'm scared of giving too much and hurting them.
Hello you! Sp sorry I've been away for a moment. I'm not sure if you've seen my latest video, but I had a kinda scary health issue in regards to my vision, which has seen me have to take time away from the world. I hope you're well, and keep up the great work! 😁🐡💙🌟🌈
Oh my goodness, I just watched your video and am so sorry to hear! My mom's going through cataract surgery soon, and it's been so hard for her, not being able to use her phone or drive. Praying for your vision right now, that you would receive healing and comfort in your time of need. 🙏🙏🙏
@@GirlTalksFish Thank you so very much. Your support and kind words means plenty right now. Looking forward to a little normality resuming. My eye health has been very poor for a few years now, and apparently I'm a medical mystery according to my eye doc. I hope all goes well for your Mother with her surgery. I am on a waiting list for a similar surgery in my left eye, then out of nowhere my right eye plays up. I just hope things continue to improve. Thanks again!
What do you recommend for shrimp-proofing the aquarium coop heater ? my shrimps use to always hide in the heater and I dnt know what to use to cover the holes to prevent them from getting in there
I’m in love with your videos! Question: where did you get Indian Almond Leaves? I just see a lot of rip offs on Amazon selling mere oak leaves instead of almond leaves

@@GirlTalksFish my theory is that the shrimp are eating the soft and yummy growth tips of the roots. Fine by me :)
Hi sorry I haven't comented on your vids I have been doing stuff,enyways do you have your website up and maibe you selling does little CharyShrimp.
@@ants7279 Hey, good to see you back! I'm actually in the research phase of learning how to ship shrimp. Going to try and see if it works, and then find out if it's really that cost effective to ship shrimp. Wish me luck!

LOL! Repashy definitely has a certain humor with their food names. Thanks so much for visiting my channel. I love all the wonderful videos you put out; very inspiring to me. :)
Foooooo!!! I love your channel!
I’ve just popped over to see your channel on Foo’s recommendation, very inspiring, just enjoyed the shrimp food video, brill, thank you! x

Soylant Green??? They say the flavor varies from person to person 😂😂😂
I know you prob spend a lot of time making your videos but they are more enjoyable to watch than 95% of other fishtubers.
The effort clearly shows :)
Oh my goodness, you are too sweet! Thank you so much. 🤗
ive been thinking of making videos and really just getting started is already so tough. it definitely does take a lot of effeort to produce such well made videos
That’s it! Yes. You cracked the code. Fishtubers. That is the name.
The rest are too long and boring and lacking in colour lol
I love how you like to experiment so I dont have to
Haha, that's what I love doing! Must be from all those years of doing science fair projects...
Oh just a tip I figured out about the BacterAE - I put the dose in a plastic water bottle with tank water, shake it up, and then pour it in all my tanks. That way it doesnt just float on the surface and make a mess!
+1 on biofilm. My shrimp thrive on biofilm, algae, dead plant matter and whatever is left over from the fish.
Yesss, biofilm for the win!
Enjoyed your video. I have my first ever cherry shrimp about 3 weeks now. I have 8. I tried a little green bean last night. They soon began eating on it. How long do you leave it in there? I am trying these guys in a small, self sustaining aquarium. So far, so good!

Love your hair colour! Match the cherrys really well!
Haha, thank you so much!! 🍒🦐
I searched for a recipe with shrimps; found recipes *for* shrimps and I'm quite amazed
This is very timely for me. I've had my shrimp for about a month and at the same time accidentally acquired pond snails - which have completely eliminated all visible algae from the tank. So I've been experimenting with different shrimp foods. I recon I'm about to order some almond leaves and cholla wood. Thanks!
My pleasure! I'm so glad I could help. Hopefully the shrimp will be faster than the snails. 😉

If I was trying to get my shrimp to hit their reddest color I'd seed my tank with a culture of the freshwater algae Haematococcus pluvialis.
I have a lot of floating plants and I found if I keep my lights on for more than 12 hours a day the other plants get the right amount of light and grow like a week and it doesn't seem to grow algae
That's a pretty lucky situation, that way you can have your lights on for the entire part of the day when you're awake! Mine would grow too much algae, so I can't really watch my aquarium in early mornings and nights.
My cherry shrimp love spinach i boil it first to make it soft for them then put in tank when its cooled down they also like cooked cabbage
Ooo, I used frozen spinach, which should already have been blanched, but it was still too tough. Maybe I need to cook it even longer.
Rapashy gel food goes a long way and they love it. When I see babies appear I feed the same portion you would with Bacter AE in the straight powder form.

My shrimp looove the shrimp lollies!!! They go crazy!
Omega One shrimp & lobster pellets, French cut green beans, peas-squished without the shell.
I’m going to try green beans soon! Thanks for the tips!
My pleasure! My other vegetable-eating fish love it too. :)

This is fantastic, thank you! Another lady in the hobby too, yay!
You are so welcome!
Wow!!! That was a ton of great information. Wish I would have had this video before starting my shrimp collection. Another great food which is free is blackberry leaves, stinging nettles, and mulberry leaves. I dry them and have them through the winter. You need to start caridinas. They have awesome patterns. Great video!😁
Yessss, I totally want to try caridinas. Honestly, they're my favorites but I wanted to get experience with the easier Neocaridinas first. 😅
Love the hair color, I literally said “wow” out loud to myself
Thanks again. Irene.
subscribed!!! thank you so much for all the infos. i will be receiving my first pair of cherry reds and blue velvets tomorrow. im so happy to bump into your channel for betta care, planted tank tips and shrimp care. Lots of love from the philippines!!! ♥️♥️♥️

I microwave some frozen peas in water for about 10 seconds, shell them, and give the pea a little squish when I put in my tank. That way some of breaks off and without the shell they swarm the peas.
Great idea! Yeah, they totally love peas as long as I take the time to de-shell them first. :)
Ordered my first shrimp from Flip. Can't wait.
Really intersted in keeping some shrimps. There are so many kinds of shirmp I WANT ALL OF THEM!!
You're excitement is contagious. I'm gonna try Random foods to see what my guys like :)
I'm finally jumping on the neo wagon
I can’t grow enough algae.... my plants absorb everything and my nerites eat it all! As for the Bacter AE, I find it very helpful to put tank water into a bottle then put in the powder and shake it up then pour into my tank.
Omg you won’t believe this but when I had fish in my cherry shrimp tank and feed them live Brian shrimp my most active shrimp caught one and ate it. So crazy
My RCS LOVE kale! Go figure! And their fav treat of all time? Shrimp lollies of course!
Mine are obsessed with brine shrimp 😂
Awesome video! I just got shrimp so I really appreciate this video. I have both Cherry and Amano shrimp. I've never had shrimp before. They love my sponge filter. I'm going try the leaves. Thank you and I love your new hair color. It rocks!❤🦐🙂
My pleasure! Hope they enjoy the foods as much as mine have. :)
Be aware that the beneficial tannins from almond leaves will stain the water tea colored. It's not a bad thing, but some people might not like it.
Yes, very true! Take a look at my white bucket and that brown water at 3:14.
awesome video. thank you!
I wasn't able to feed my Cherry shrimps with boiled vegetables, neither azoo green food. The only thing that worked was azoo gourmet tropical Fish food. Within 10-20 mins the whole flakes dissapeared.
Boiled eggs are one of my shrimps favorites
Love the vids. Its really good content. I think everyone can learn very much out of them. I know i do. Keep up the good work. I learnt alot from you.
Love the new hair!!! Also super excited to try some of these foods with my very first shrimp (not purchased yet, but will soon)!
Thank you so much! Actually, I've been wanting to try mailing some of my cherry shrimp to someone. Email me (see my About tab on TH-cam) if you're interested in some free shrimp at some point and doing a collab video. :)
A Gamer's Wife oh heck yes!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I feed my shrimp a boiled carrot/ deshelled boiled peas finely diced up with blood worms and brine shrimp mixture and they eat it all up.
I just got my cherry shrimp today! WOOTHOO
I also use a shrimp jello thing that I make. They love it.
Ooo, fun! I definitely need to try making my own fish and shrimp food someday. :)
Thank you so much sweetie for your educating information, needed advice for shrimp food... love all your vids.
Thank you so much! Glad I could help. :)
Also, your hair looks beautiful ngl
You’re awesome thank you
Thank you for this video, I learned alot of useful information :)
hello, please help me, I have a small glass container for feeding and feeding dajana nano sticks for shrimps, but they do not fit into the container and I do not know what to try or is it not possible, it is because of the new purchase of young shrimp and they have been in the aquarium for 2 days and the aquarium is newly established with a lot of plant shelter
Nice and usefull video 👍
THIS HELPED SOOOO MUCH
Great video! I just got cherry shrimp and this info was extremely helpful!
That's awesome! So glad you found it helpful. :)
Really good video! Great information and great narration. Thank you
Definitely should check out aquatic arts sinking pellets, my shrimp absolutely love them. Seems to give em lots of energy as well.
I was full and I have an left over crab meat, I dumped in the tank for fun to see if the shrimp like it, they will eat it but I think they are not a big fan, this little information could go in your list haha
Thank you
Congrats on 10k...
👍👍👍
Thank you so much! Couldn't have done it without your support. :)
What site did you buy the MK Breed Cheese Burger food? Every site I see that sells them, the directions are in Japanese and the pack you had was in english. Or are they the same? Loved your video!
Might be dumb, but would feeding red foods to red cherry shrimp help with the colour?
Great video, My favorite is mulberry leaves ground into small pieces.
Ooo, I'll have to add that to the list!
When u feed ur cherry shrimp pepper🌶️ and carrots they sometimes get even mire red
Ive tried snowflakes and bee pollen they mine like the bee pollen more than the other
Great video thank you so much!!!
Hi, what are those floating plants with large leaves?
I feed my shrimp cat food kibbles. They live it!!
Your videos are great, thank you 😁
I have lots of biofilm and general plant "waste" in my tank but strangely I have basically no algae.
I use Indian Almond leaves a lot because I like to boil them to concentrate the tannins to add to the water since the other inhabitants of my tank are pygmy corydoras and neon tetras who like the darker water. As a bonus I don't have to wait for them to get waterlogged and sink, just cool down a bit and they can go right into the tank.

Other than that, I have some bladder snails in the tank and they like to eat those. I think they MAY be preying on the very small ones, but otherwise they immediately go for them if I crush some when I notice that the population of snails is getting too high.
I've noticed some other people in the comments say that their snails totally eat all the algae, so that could be reason!

They're quite tiny so I'd be impressed but I won't rule it out!
Great video! I got my first 10 cherry reds on Friday. Thus far no interest in Hikari algae wafers (day 1) or the boiled carrots (day two). Today I tried a little frozen brine shrimp, and that they are nibbling on. They seem mostly focused on the live plants. Thanks!
I have hikari for my albino corydoras but noticed they have 2.7mg/kg of copper. Is this ok for shrimp? I know they need trace copper but I'm scared of giving too much and hurting them.
Hello you!
Sp sorry I've been away for a moment. I'm not sure if you've seen my latest video, but I had a kinda scary health issue in regards to my vision, which has seen me have to take time away from the world.
I hope you're well, and keep up the great work! 😁🐡💙🌟🌈
Oh my goodness, I just watched your video and am so sorry to hear! My mom's going through cataract surgery soon, and it's been so hard for her, not being able to use her phone or drive. Praying for your vision right now, that you would receive healing and comfort in your time of need.
🙏🙏🙏
@@GirlTalksFish Thank you so very much. Your support and kind words means plenty right now.
Looking forward to a little normality resuming. My eye health has been very poor for a few years now, and apparently I'm a medical mystery according to my eye doc.
I hope all goes well for your Mother with her surgery. I am on a waiting list for a similar surgery in my left eye, then out of nowhere my right eye plays up. I just hope things continue to improve.
Thanks again!
What do you recommend for shrimp-proofing the aquarium coop heater ? my shrimps use to always hide in the heater and I dnt know what to use to cover the holes to prevent them from getting in there
Have you tried hard boiled egg yoke?
I haven’t grown algae yet....I’m sad 😞
But I will try to feed my shrimp a cucumber
I didnt know i Could feed my shrimp blood worms, I just tried it and all my shrimp went SAVAGE! Boxing on over them 😆
Hello do recommend put pleco fish in shrimp aquarium? Or its risky
Obrigado pelos vídeos. Tenho aprendido muito
My shrimps didn't care for the Repashy brand :( They totally ignored it

Love your hair! Great video!
Thank you so much! 💇♀️
I’m in love with your videos! Question: where did you get Indian Almond Leaves? I just see a lot of rip offs on Amazon selling mere oak leaves instead of almond leaves
eBay
Are they eating optimum?
